Roasted Pork Loin with Cider and Chunky Applesauce image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 sprigs rosemary leaves, roughly chopped
2 sprigs sage, roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic, smashed
Pinch crushed red pepper
Salt
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 (6-chop) pork rib roast
2 large onions, sliced
1 bundle thyme, tied with string
3 bay leaves
2 quarts apple cider
Chunky Applesauce, recipe follows
3 tablespoons butter
4 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1/2-inch chunks (toss the apples in lemon juice if not using right away)
1 1/2 cups of the reserved cider from the Roasted Pork Loin with Cider
1/4 cup apple cider
1 pinch ground cinnamon
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • In a food processor, combine the chopped herbs with the garlic, crushed red pepper, a generous pinch of salt and enough olive oil to make a paste. Brush the paste on the outside of the pork rib roast.
  • Toss the onions with olive oil, and salt, and place in the bottom of a roasting pan. Add the thyme, bay leaves and 2/3 of the cider. Place the pork on top of the onions and place in the preheated oven. Roast the pork at 425 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes or until the pork has developed a lovely brown crust. Check the pork, stir the onions and cider if they are starting to burn. Add more cider when the level starts to go down.
  • Lower the oven to 375 degrees F and roast for another 30 to 35 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer reads 150 degrees F. If the crust on the pork starts to get too dark, cover it with foil. Remove 1 1/2 cups of the cider from the bottom of the roasting pan and reserve for the applesauce.
  • Let the pork rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. When ready to carve remove the pork from the bone and cut the loin into thin slices. Serve with the onions braised in cider and Chunky Applesauce.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan large enough to accommodate the apples. Add the apples and saute over medium-low heat until the apples start to soften. Add the reserved cider, apple cider and cinnamon and cook over low-medium heat until most of the cider has evaporated and the apples are cooked and very soft.
  • Add the heavy cream and walnuts and cook until the cream has reduced by half. The end result should be a very chunky, sweet/savory applesauce.

Remove 1 1/2 cups of the cider from the bottom of the roasting pan and reserve for the applesauce. Let the pork rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. When ready to carve remove the pork from the bone and cut the loin into thin slices. Serve with the onions braised in cider and Chunky Applesauce. Chunky Applesauce: * 3 tablespoons butter * 4 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1/2-inch chunks (toss the apples in lemon juice if not using right away) * 1 1/2 cups of the reserved cider from the Roasted Pork Loin with Cider * 1/4 cup apple cider * 1 pinch ground cinnamon * 1/4 cup heavy cream * 1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped Melt the butter in a saucepan large enough to accommodate the apples.

Add the heavy cream and walnuts and cook until the cream has reduced by half. The end result should be a very chunky, sweet/savory applesauce.

Tips:

  • Choose a pork loin roast that is about 3 pounds. This will ensure that you have enough pork for 6-8 servings.
  • To make the chunky savory applesauce, use a variety of apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady. This will give the applesauce a complex flavor.
  • Be sure to brown the pork loin roast in a hot skillet before roasting it. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the roast from drying out.
  • Roast the pork loin roast at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork loin roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing it. This will help the juices to redistribute and make the meat more tender.
  • Serve the roasted pork loin with the chunky savory applesauce and your favorite sides.
